Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1955 Sahara Hare, (starring Bugs Bunny) and directed by Friz Freleng.
Although the desert location is never clearly revealed, a sign inside the fort says "For rent or lease, call MOrocco 41311."
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour has once again been checking out the very funny website, Letters Live, (where actors read actual letters from famous and not so famous people.) We stumbled upon this one, so lets watch it - -
We have felt a special affinity to Laurence since Apocalypse Now
We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1965 Shakespearean drama Chimes At Midnight, directed by Orson Welles and beside Orson, starring Jeanne Moreau, Margaret Rutherford, John Gielgud, Marina Vlady, and Keith Baxter. The film is based on five of Shakespeare's plays; primarily Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2, but also Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. Initially dismissed by most film critics, Chimes at Midnight is now regarded as one of Welles' highest achievements, and Welles called it his best work. Despite the notable cast, the budget for Chimes at Midnight was a modest $1 million. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch Chimes at Midnight.
Despite portraying Falstaff as a grossly obese man, Orson Welles actually had to diet to slim down for the role. This is purported to be Orson Welles' favorite of his movies.
